Never Saw You Coming

In Hayley Doyle's Never Saw You Coming, this feel-good romantic comedy/woman's fiction novel would have you in stitches. Zara Khoury lived in Dubai most of her life and planned to track down a man she met named Nick Gregory in London and had a long-distance online relationship with him. She boarded a plane to go there to speak to him and crashed her car into Jim Glover's new car. For Jim Glover, he worked a dead-end job as a toll booth collector and won a brand new car from a radio call-in contest. He was a former lead singer of a band that got nowhere and took care of his mother since his father died. From there, it was a collision course of calamities between them when it wasn't love at first sight. When Zara tells Jim about her woes and heartbreaks during the car ride, she gets to know him a bit longer. At first, Jim just wanted to deal with the car repair and move on with his life.  But when he took her and a "mop" to Nick's place, he waits for her to confront him. Then he spots her on the ground and comes to her rescue when he later learns who Nick really is. From there, he begins to care for her and plan to take her to the airport--but they did hit a couple of snags along the way. Later, they went their separate ways to start their new lives at the opposite ends of the world and discovers they care for each other before they reunite in the end and decide to give it a chance.

This was a beautiful well-written story that talks about Fate and tugs at the heart. I cared about Zara and how she had no luck with love and family troubles of her own. I also cared about Jim who needed a break and needed some exciting adventure. But the sparks did fly when they met in that car accident. I loved the Dubai and Liverpool dual locations to capture those scenic settings and imagine ourselves were there in the moment. The themes are be careful of online dating and you'll never love when love comes sneaking up on you.

If you need a feel-good romance to keep you laughing and grabbing a Kleenex, Never Saw You Coming has that and non-stop action, bits of humorous drama, lots of suspense, and a hint of mystery and romance here and there. Check it out today!
